    Very interested museum, a mix of many themes, including the history of construction of the Itaipu dam with models of Dam and objects used in its construction. The place is organized and the facilities have all the support for the visitors.

    One of the best museum tour I ever did. Really amazing to talk with someone that actually work in the dam construction. Also, the virtual reality visualization of the turbines is very interesting.

    Ok, I travel a LOT. Museums have all kinds of regulations. So I'm very careful to keep my most precious belongings, which I need to carry as an international traveler, in one TINY bag. Not a backpack. Not a messenger bag. Not a purse. But a bag JUST big enough for my passport, wallet and phone. It has never over years of traveling in multiple countries been an issue. So we pay the admission fee, and only then are told that NO bags are allowed. None. I am supposed to put my passport and wallet and phone and cash in a locker, or stuff it in my pockets, in a damp tropical climate where it is prone to downpours, in this complex which involves walking outdoors. Craziest thing I ever heard. Fabulous little museum ruined by this insane rule. I went along with it, against my every instinct as a traveler, only for the sake of the person I was with. This extreme, restrictive rule should be prominently displayed BEFORE customers purchase their tickets.
